TerraCycle has created a range of Zero Waste Boxes, designed to allow manufacturers to recycle once ‘unrecyclable’ items used in food-contact environments, giving them a ‘second’ life and saving thousands of pieces of plastic from landfill.
KP Snacks has cut 410 tonnes of plastic from its packaging in 2021 after pairing back on packaging by 6.8% across a number of its brands. It also said that 13 million snack packs have been recycled to date through its partnership with TerraCycle.
The Kellogg’s brand is trialling a tube made of recycled paper – which is widely recyclable – in the UK, which ‘will shape what the Pringles can of the future could look like’.
Bimbo Bakeries USA has become the first baking company to launch a national recycling programme in partnership with waste management company TerraCycle.
The free-to-use program will accept all of KP’s line of nuts, popcorn, crisps and pretzels; however, it excludes potato chip tubes and packages that contained seeds, nutrient powder, dried fruit or meat snacks.
